Topiramate is a second-generation antiepileptic drug used in partial, generalized seizures as an oral tablet. Oral route of administration is most convenient but shows delayed absorption. Moreover, in emergency cases, parenteral administration is not possible as it requires medical assistance. Hence, the present study was aimed to develop topiramate mucoadhesive nanoparticles for intranasal administration using ionotropic gelation method. The developed nanoparticles were evaluated for physico-chemical properties like particle size, zeta potential, surface morphology, drug content, entrapment efficiency, in vitro drug release, mucoadhesive strength, and ex vivo permeation studies in excised porcine nasal mucosa. Optimized nanoparticle formulation (T9) was composed oil mucoadhesive agent (Chitosan 1% w/w), cross linking polymer (TPP) and topiramate 275mg, 100mg and 4% respectively. It showed particle size of 350nm, high encapsulation efficacy and strong mucoadhesive strength. In vitro drug diffusion of optimized formulation showed 95.12% release of drug after 180min. Ex-vivo permeation of drug across nasal mucosa was   88.05 % after 180min. Nasocilial toxicity studies showed optimized formulation did not damage the nasal mucosa. Thus, the intranasal administration of topiramate using chitosan can be a promising alternative for brain targeting and the treatment of epilepsy.

Background: Metronidazole (MTZ) is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent with beneficial therapeutic properties. The hydrophilic nature of molecule limits its penetration across the skin. Existing commercial formulations have limitations of inadequate drug concentration present at target site, which requires frequent administration and poor patient compliance. Objective: The aim of current study was to develop and evaluate water in oil microemulsion of Metronidazole with higher skin retention for treatment of inflammatory skin disorders. Methods: Pseudo ternary phase diagrams were used in order to select the appropriate ratio of surfactant and co-surfactant and identify the microemulsion area. The selected formulation consisted of Capmul MCM as oil, Tween 20 and Span 20 as surfactant and co-surfactant, respectively, and water. The formulation was characterized and evaluated for stability, Ex vivo permeation studies and in vivo anti-inflammatory effect (carrageenan induced rat paw edema, air pouch model), anti-psoriatic activity (mouse-tail test). Results: The particle size analyses revealed average diameter and polydispersity index of selected formulation to be 16 nm and 0.373, respectively. The results of ex vivo permeation studies showed statistically higher mean cumulative amount of MTZ retained in rat skin from microemulsion i.e. 21.90 ± 1.92 μg/cm2 which was 6.65 times higher as compared to Marketed gel (Metrogyl gel®) with 3.29 ± 0.11 μg/cm2 (p<0.05). The results of in vivo studies suggested the microemulsion based formulation of MTZ to be similar in efficacy to Metrogyl gel®. Conclusion: Research suggests efficacy of the developed MTZ loaded microemulsion in treatment of chronic skin inflammatory disorders.

  Objective: The current investigation deals with formulation and evaluation of fast disintegrating sublingual tablets of rizatriptan benzoate (RTB) to produce its intended therapeutic effect for acute treatment of migraine. When the drug is given by sublingual route, it overcomes the first pass metabolism and quick entry of drug in systemic circulation is obtained. It would result in fast pharmacological response hence faster relief from migraine which is an important criterion in migraine therapy.Methods: In this study, RTB sublingual tablets were prepared using direct compression process using various bioadhesive polymers such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose-K4M, and chitosan at various concentration ranging 0.5-5% w/w along with sodium starch glycolate (SSG) or cross carmellose sodium (CCS) as super disintegrants at different concentration ranging 2-8% w/w.Results: The tablets disintegrated quickly and dissolution tests conclude that RTB was released from the formulation within the compendial limits. The formulations batches (A8 and B8) containing 2% w/w chitosan along with 2% w/w SSG or CCS which disintegrate rapidly and show high dissolution and ex vivo permeation were selected as optimized formulations.Conclusion: The results obtained from the study showed that the bioavailability problem of the drug has been solved as the drug is given by sublingual route and it directly enters into systemic circulation. Furthermore, the formulation overcomes the problems associated with migraine attack as fast disintegrating technology is used.
